Next Gen Gaming
The Xbox Series X/S are the next generation of gaming and the newest home consoles from Microsoft. This new generation is a beast, with better graphics, audio and motion, while it’s positioned to tide you over for the next several years with top-of-the-line games like Watch Dogs: Legion, The Ascent, NBA 2K21, The Medium, the upcoming Halo Infinite and Cyberpunk 2077 and so much more coming in 2021.
For 2020, Microsoft released two versions of the new console. First up, the Series X is a 4K console that comes with a disc drive, so you can still play a few of your older Xbox games on the system since it’s backwards-compatible. In fact, it can even play a few games from the original Xbox, which was released back in 2001. It’s also a Blu-ray player with 16GB of memory and 1TB of on-board storage.
Next, the Series S isn’t 4K, but rather Quad HD with a resolution at 1440p. It also doesn’t have a disc drive, so if you want to play games or watch movies, you’ll have to download them from the Microsoft Xbox Store. The console has 10GB of memory with 512GB of solid-state storage inside. But, it’s also $200 cheaper.
Whether you’re new to gaming or looking to upgrade your old Xbox One, the new Xbox Series X/S will keep you more than occupied for many years to come. Good luck and happy gaming!
